Distance
Kyle Hume Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never thought I'd be the type to fall like this
And risk it all like this
But here we are
You got somethin' I don't wanna lose
Never thought I'd find it after all
It's probably cause they always said
You'll never have
Somethin' perfect but we kinda do

Don't you worry bout the distance
Doesn't matter when it's feeling this right
All it takes is some persistence
Can't nobody ever say they had it quite like this
Long nights, headlights,
I'll waste all of my time
If that's what it takes to get to you
Don't you worry about the distance
Doesn't matter when it's feeling this right
And we're feeling alright
Don't you worry 'bout the distance
Doesn't matter when it's feeling this right
And we're feeling alright

It's gonna take some time to move beyond this
Girl cuz let's be honest
I would do it all
All again if I got to choose
So go and take your time to figure all this out
And work through all your doubts
But let me know
Will you tell me when you finally do?

And we won't worry bout the distance
Doesn't matter when it's feeling this right
All it takes is some persistence
Can't nobody ever say they had it quite like this
Long nights, headlights,
I'll waste all of my time
If that's what it takes to get to you
Don't you worry about the distance
Doesn't matter when it's feeling this right
And we're feeling alright
Don't you worry 'bout the distance

Doesn't matter when it's feeling this right
And we're feeling alright

They are willing to wait for the other person to figure things out and are willing to do it all over again because the person is worth it.

Overall, the song speaks to the idea of taking risks for love, and even though there may be obstacles or distance, the feeling of being with the right person makes it all worth it.
